Those scripts are used to walk the dependencies of the Kernel Modules in Linux.

Usage

One could use any of the following implementation, either on Python or Bash

Note: The python implementation is updated to use a cache, making it instantaneous

Python Script

Use any of the following commands

Motivation

When connecting to the internet we could be doing that :

1. to install new packages/modules, or
2. to make requests within the application, using requests module.

By either of them we could get SSLCertVerficationError, but each requires a different solution.

PIP Trust

For the first scenario, using pip to install new modules, one could configure the .ini file and add the following lines

simple:
  source get_device.sh
  getdevicename 1234:abcd
  getdevicenum 1234:abcd

script:
  #Device VENDOR ID
  : ${DEVICE_VENDOR:="1234"}
  #Device PRODUCT ID
  : ${DEVICE_PRODUCT:="abcd"}

Following are the steps I followed to have further understanding

1. Know the architecture from this link. Whether the API totally encapsulates the CGI or there are some differences, that is not the topic of this guide, so it's better to be always aware of the Disk Station Architecture your script would support, so that when we have to read the sources we'll know which source to check

2. Try a working ansible role. That will give a pretty good overview of how the interaction is implemented.

3. Check the official docs for the

Post-Setup Modification

I was looking forward to changing the user-data available on baremetal installation of user-data on an RPI, and following are the hits that I reached.

• How to manage cloud-init on physical server?

Note: I found multiple instances of the user-data and user-data.i, but I didn't reach yet which is the source as all the ones that I changed got reverted upon a restart.

rsyslog

The warning cc_rsyslog.py:205: FutureWarning: Possible nested set at position 23 is not severe, but it shows up, it could be circumvented using version 19.1

NPM package installation behind a proxy

While installing yo behind proxy you may get issues as described in this issue The root cause is that yo is trying to connect to the internet while doing the sanity checks on your system using a global proxy as described here and there

I was not able to change the GLOBAL_AGENT_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_NAMESPACE from undefined to an empty variable from the powershell, so I edited the node_modules\got\index.js:requestAsEventEmitter(opts):~22 and added the following line

	process.env.GLOBAL_AGENT_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_NAMESPACE="";
